I was browsing in my local wine shop and noticed this Bocelli Tenor Red Rosso Tuscana 2015. Since I have always been a fan of the Bocelli Sangiovese, I decided to give this Super Tuscan red blend a try. In doing my research, I found that the 2015 was released two years ago, so I am always concerned that the wine may not have been stored under ideal conditions.
Tenor Red is a blend of 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Sangiovese and 33% Merlot. It is considered a "Super Tuscan" wine since it blends Sangiovese with non indigenous grapes. I have found several Super Tuscans that have this same equal blending of these three grapes.
This is a very aromatic wine with a nose of earthy dark fruit. There are flavors of black cherry, blackberry and some oak on the finish. The flavors linger in the mouth for a long finish. I enjoyed this wine and could not detect any storage related issues. I paid $16.99 and my research indicates that it has been sold for less elsewhere ($12.99 at select Costco Warehouses last year).
SC Wine Joe rating = 89 points
